Social Security Chief Staffs Booth at Fair By MRS. N. D. ICKES, SR. The Frontier's Feature Writer CHAMBERS—There was a stranger occupying a booth at the recent Holt county fair—a stran ger who wanted to be friendly with everybody. The man was Emmett H. Dun away, manager of the Omaha district of social security, who explained the purpose, regula tions and benefits of the social security program, providing an old age and survivors insurance trust fund, to all who were inter ested. Main purpose of the social security booth was to educate farmers and ranchers, whose sta tus in the social security field has been changed. Beginning January, 1955, a self employed farmer or a farm em ployee has social security cover age under the new law. The first requirement is to obtain a social security card and number. (a) If you are a farm employ ee, you are covered by the law if your employer paid you $100 or more cash wages in the year. The number of days work does not factor, only the amount of money paid to him counts. The tax is two percent for both em ployee and employer on the em ployee’s wages up to $4200 in the year. (b) It you are a farm employ er, you must have paid at least $100 cash wages to an employee during the year. If you are an employer, you must keep the fol lowing records for such em ployee to whom you pay at least $100 cash in the year for agricul tural labor. (1) The name and the social security account number of the employee. (2) Cash wage payments to the employee. /nv rm. _ _1 • n _ VO/ auc atuvuuo) li auj, uc ducted as employee tax. The employer deducts the em ployee’s part of the tax when he pays the wages to the employee. If the employer pays taxable cash wages totaling less than $2, 500 before October 1 of the year, this is the only tax return he will file to report and pay the social security taxes for the year on his farm employees. If he pays taxable cash wages totaling more than $2,500 before October 1, he must also file one or more returns on form 943A. If you farm land which you lease or rent or work as a share-cropper^ you are con sidered as self-employed for social security purposes. A share cropper is considered to be the same as a renter. If you farm land under the a bove conditions you are termed a farm operator and it does not matter if you farm the land your self, with or without hired help or whether you live on the farm or whether you turn over the operation of the farm to one or more employees and live in town! Rentals from rental or lessee arrangements are excluded from earnings that count for social security purposes. Only your earnings as an individual farm operator would count for social security. The conditions to be met by a self employed farmer are these: [ (1) Obtain a social security ac | count number. (2) Make a return on form 1040 (U.S. individual income tax return). (3) Attach to the return the schedule for reporting your self employment income from farm ing and any other source. (4) Send the return and sch edule to the district director of internal revenue with payment of any tax due. The rate of self employment is three percent. The amount of self-employ ment you owe is not affected by the number of income-tax ex emptions you may have. Self employment tax may be due even though you would not owe income if you had 4 exemptions. Should your net earnings from self employment be $400 you would owe $12 self-employment tax.) If you should also work as an employee and you receive wages which are subject to employer and employee social security tax es, your wages will also count for social security purposes. Should you receive $2,000 wages for fac tory work In addition to your farm income the maximum ac count of your farm Income sub j e c t to self-employment tax would be $2,200 ($4,200 minus $2,000). The method of computing your self-employment earnings is ar rived at by subtracting wages paid to hired workers, seed and fertilizer from your gross earn ings for the year from farming. The optional method is as fol lows. (1) If your income for a year from self-employment is from $800 to $1800 you may report one-half of the gross income in stead of figuring the actual net earnings. (Thus, if your gross earnings from farming are $800 you may report $400 regardless of the amount of your net earn ings.) V*-/ xi juui 51 uaa iiiv-wnic xux the year from farm employment is more than $1,800 and your act ual net earnings are less than $900, you may report $900 in stead of reporting the actual net earnings. The optional method is used only in computing self-employ ment tax and applies only to farm income. Legal partnerships may be form* ed between a husband and wife or a father and son if desired but the amount of net earnings necessary to apply for the maxi mum benefits, would be raised to $8400. In that case the maxi mum payment, monthly, would be $108.50 each, or $217.00 to gether, after age 65. As a wife, she is entitled to a monthly payment of $54.30, while her husband received $108.50 or $162.80 together per month on the basis of net earnings of $4200 reported, after age 65. Net earnings of $400 or more for the year are required for the minimum payment of $48 per month after age 65. At age 72, benefits become straight annuities and may be drawn without retirement and are not restricted. The Omaha district covers 18 counties of northeast Nebraska emu acvcu ui auum. w coi iu w ex. Should you have any questions concerning social security, you are invited to address the social security administration at Omaha, for further information, Mr. Dunaway told us he also visited the Antelope county fair at Ne ligh. The visits, he explained, were “experimental”. “Quite a few people would drop by the booth and pickup literature,” Mr. Dunaway ex plained, “and no few of them eyed us skeptically.” “It was a test of interest and an opportunity to talk social sec urity with a lot of people and be helpful to them,” the district director continued, “ and the re sults will be analyzed to deter mine if the visits to the fairs will become an annual affair.” Club Makes Plans for Celebration^— PAGE—Mrs. Alton Braddock was hostess to 11 members of the Improvement club Monday eve- : ning.
